mydoddy69 Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 I finally got my outdrives and the tower brace in so now i can fit these new CVD's If you compare the new outdrives to the old there are quite a few differences main one being there bigger So sadly unless you buy the new outdrives the new cvd's wont fit as the ball end is bigger and does not fit into the old outdrives, so be warned before you go out and order the new CVD's your need both parts part numbers are 94077 for the out drive and OP-0083N for the cvd .. Now i just need to get them fitted up and test them out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I did that on my old XT2E, only had CVD's on the front so got rid of the rear bones and bunged a set of fronts on the rear. 3 years of solid running, never let me down.

Devils advocate here: Wheelie bar is personal choice (i'm sure most prefer to run one obv) and the brace can be done for about £12 if you aren't fussy about using the optional upgrade. That leaves the pinion - did you run yours Jim? My friend with the Plus has run his stock and it seemed to survive much better than our original ones. Staying direct drive the CNC spur isn't a deal more expensive than a replacement stock part, and if wanted the slipper unit can be had much cheaper than UK price via RC-Willpower. I do agree partly though that considering the price then a basic brace at least should be there - a reinforced plastic option would work well and in bulk add fractions of $ to the bill of manufacture.

Bigjimknickers Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I've ran mine 4 times now on 6s, not going mental, but popping some nice full field wheelies & a few standing flips, pinion & slipper set spur are holding really well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I just got some 6mm studding and cut it down to make 2 braces, cost me £2.50 for a metre length with 8 nuts chucked in. I didn't like the height of the standard wheelie bar so made my own mount bolted to the wheelie bar to drop the wheel down by 2 inches. Id rather keep the locked centre gearbox, like having 100k oil in there. Once I get the CNC spur off mydoddy69, ive got a hardened steel pinion, just need to drill the grub screw out but doddy has kindly bunged me an old one to get it running again. Haven't touched the front and rear diffs yet but could do with putting 10k oil in there. Ran it on buggy tyres to get the geometry right and it ran really well, just needed taller gearing.

dazp1976 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Just to check. Will the battery boxes take a 50mm x 30mm 3s? I've seen some use a 50x27mm. Want to know if a 30mm will fit for the biggest mah possible Thanks in advance. Looking at the 80% complete version. I have a 1700kv + servo already so I'd only need an esc.

No fella the biggest is a 28 mm , I suppose you could always split the tray and use the Velcro straps to hold them in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NuttyProfessor Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 ive squeezed a 4s pack in the tray, bows a bit but it does fit. Cheers rich for that CNC spur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm still undecided yet. Would be for a winter time model when the grass isn't good for the Truggy. It's either that or sell everything up completely and buy myself a cnc machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Managed to get the grub screw out of a new 18t RW pinion I had laying around. Took a hacksaw and a flathead screwdriver but ive got good mesh with the new CNC spur, buttery smooth with a dab of red and tacky. its a versatile vehicle, can run it as an MT or gear up and run it as a wide buggy or get Truggy wheels.

capri-boy Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Cheeky ask guys, but does anyone have a set of slipper pads spare? CML are OOS and no seems to list them so unlikely to be stock floating around. I really should have sourced a couple spares myself but forgot.

Now you know why I did it lol Been testing out these new cvds and so far so good so much so I just ordered another set for the rear Don't know why they bother with non captured hinge pins on rc's. O.k. it gives you quick access to the diffs and the like at the cost of the pins popping out. I found the Vorza the worst for it as the suspension blocks where the pin is held are very thin. Never had a problem once I put captured ones in. Just have to half strip it to get diff access instead. Nut & bolt mods or proper captured pins that fit should be on everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to find my old Savage x ones not Flux/xl (for an hour) to measure up the shaft part, they take an 8.9mm ball end as well so could've been a good substitute when Hobao run out. Guess what, think I sold them off Edited August 18, 2016 by dazp1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuttyProfessor Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I ended up changing to a Hyper 7 hub, £6.69 for a pair of hubs, wheel nuts, grubs and axle pins or £10 for 4 nuts........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Took mine out to an old field I know of from when I where a lad, it ran like a champ, the floureons where excellent, & I'm now practicing full length field wheelies! It's a total blast this truck & tough too, I did a pretty big cartwheel across the field after a wheelie went wrong & I though it was a day ending crash. But nope on it went!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
